I love God's creation and thank Him every time I see His Awesome nature that is around me. Whether it's a sunrise
/sunset, reflections in water, wildlife, a child,tiny wild flowers or a vast landscape... Capturing a glimpse of His beauty is one way I can praise Him. Evidence of God's presence is everywhere. One day all of His Creation will be restored to God's intended plan. What a Glorious Hope and Future we have in our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ to all who Believe. Revelations Chapter 21

The Light_Sharing From My Heart

A Missionary was sailing home when she was awakened by a cry – a cry which is perhaps the most difficult to hear when at sea. “Man overboard!” She arose quickly from her berth, lit the lamp at the window of her cabin, and then held the lamp at the window of her cabin in hopes of seeing some sign of life in the murky waters outside.

Seeing nothing she hung the lamp back on its bracket, snuffed it out, and returned to her berth with prayers for the man lost at sea. In the morning, to her surprise she discovered the man had been rescued. Not only that, but she learned it was the flash of her lamp through the porthole that showed those on deck the location of the missing man who was desperately clinging to a rope still attached to the deck. He was pulled from the cold waters just in the nick of time. Such a small deed of shining a lamp at the right time had saved a man’s life.

It isn’t the size of the deed you do that counts. God can take every deed we perform and use it for His purposes, in our lives and in the lives of others.

---------------------------------------

My heart has been very heavy for the people of Japan, Haiti, and so many. We must all do what we can to help our fellow man. Shining our lamps in what ever way we can. All of us can pray. All of us can do something.

If I didn't do anything else with my life, I do want to spread His Love, and be able to encourage others in The Faith. We really do need to Love and support each other, as God's Children. We are Family! :) We do need to pray for our unsaved loved ones, and others who don't know Jesus Christ, and haven't accepted Him as Lord, and Savior.

(John 14:6), He is the Only Way, to be saved, and God help those who reject Him. (John 3:16), God is not willing that any should perish, and has made a way for all to come and be reconciled with Him. This life is temporary, but Eternity is Forever. I want to spend it with Jesus, and I want all to be saved, but I know that is not the case, according to His Word. God will not share His Glory with those who choose to worship false gods, and reject His Son. All other ground is sinking sand. We serve a Wonderful Savior who gave His Life, so that we could be saved. I pray God will open the eyes of the spiritually blind,and that all will come to a saving knowledge of who He is. That all would hear the gospel, and come to the place of decision. We all must make that choice. God is not to be taken lightly. I am just sharing some of my thoughts, and feelings with you, this day. I have many loved ones and friends, and people I know who don't know the Lord. I pray for them, and I also pray that God would give me the courage to tell others about Jesus when He gives me the opportunity to do so, and know when to speak, and when not to speak.

We are living in troubled times. Our world is changing before our very eyes. Jesus’s disciples asked Him in Mathew chapter 24, in the Bible, What would be the sign of His coming, and the end of the age? Jesus warned them to watch out for many will come in His name, claiming to be Christ, and deceive many. He also said, there would be wars, and rumors of wars, but don’t be alarmed for such things must happen but the end is not yet. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdoms against kingdoms. There will be famines, and earthquakes in various places. (Sound Familiar?) All these are the beginning of birth pains.

It goes on… You can read it for yourselves. I am not a Bible scholar but I do believe the Bible is the Inspired Word of God, to all man kind.

This is what I believe. This is my conviction. God gave us all a free will to choose. All I ask is that if you don’t believe at this time, you give it some thought, and ask God to reveal Himself to you, if He is real. If you are sincere and seek Him, He will show you. Ask Him to open the eyes of your heart, and He will. If you are the least bit curious, and want to find Truth, read the Gospel of John. What have you to loose?

Once again your heart shines and word penitate . Your conviction for what you belive is powerful and full of love . Wonderful to be back and back here . I have missed you my friend.Bless You and keep on sharing. The power of your words sing a song all there own.Much Loveand I adore Eva Cassidys song playing. You made my day.Lisa xo

God's Grace

"There is nothing but God's grace. We walk upon it; we breath it; we live and die by it; it makes the nails and axles of the universe. written by: Robert Louis

The God Of Creation

15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. 16 Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see -- kings, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities. Everything has been created through him and for him. 17 He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together. 18 Christ is the head of the church, which is his body. He is the first of all who will rise from the dead, so he is first in everything. 19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, 20 and by him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of his blood on the cross. Colossians 1:15-20

About Me

I am a Christian,Wife,Mother, Grandmother,Daughter and an Amateur Photographer. I live in a city, but I am a Country Girl at heart. I love nature, and the great outdoors. Put a camera in my hands, and I am happy. I believe God has given me eyes to see the Beauty that surrounds me. If I really stop, look, and listen, then I see more clearly. I hope you will enjoy what I have to share, through my camera lens, and my heart.
Sincerely Dianne :)

Eyes To See

A few years ago I prayed that the Lord would give me an eye to see the things around me, really see and look beyond the obvious and not take things for granted that I see everyday. To be able to enjoy the simple things of life. I believe it is He who has given me the passion for photography, to capture a glimpse of His Creation and that has strengthened my Faith because , Not only am I in "Awe" of what I see but in that He cares enough for me to take the time to show me and often times it is as if He is walking by my side as I feel His Presence so real. God loves His Creation and I know He loves you and I. He is not a God far away but He is there at the mention of His Name. For those who earnestly seek Him, He will be found. I see miracles of life every day as I look at the things around me. How can anyone say, there is not "One Almighty God"?

Blessing to all.

Dianne :)

Peace Like A River

The Path ....

To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions,but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meaness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor's accept his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and every day of Christ; and to spend as much time as you can with body and with spirit, in God's out-of-doors - these are little quideposts on the footpath of peace.

-Henry van Dyke

Uniqueness Of A Butterfly

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'So she did and she had a wonderful day.The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'So she did and she had a grand day.The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in apony tail.'So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.The next day she woke up, looked in the mirrorand noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

Attitude is everything.Be kinder than necessary,for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.Live simply,Love generously,Care deeply,Speak kindly,and pray continually.Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

A New Year

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.
